Great idea, day–trippr! Cheers!

Thanks for this, day_trippr. I'm about to add 2# of chocolate nibs that I soaked in 75ml of vodka, but don't see anywhere in BeerSmith 3 to add alcohol content to Misc. additions. The nibs are already in my BeerSmith calculations. Can I just take my final gravity before the nibs and compare to...

Sounds good!

Thanks, huckdavidson!

Very nice!

Thanks, whoaru99! I hadn't though of brandy, which is a natural choice

I brew a chocolate stout, using a few vanilla beans (split & scraped) soaked in vodka. Been thinking of changing things up, maybe using bourbon or rum. What are your favorite liquors for making vanilla tinctures? Do you use different processes depending on which liquor you’re using?

That just might work! (and great to see a fellow head/JGB fan on here!)

Indeed, kevin58! I'll have to come up with a name for my new technique *lol*

RO-water was heated Grist at the ready Went to pour in my obsessively-measured salts (spot on to the .00th of a gram), when I slipped, spilling most of them in the kettle... but some on the brew-room floor. With most of the salts already in the water, there was no way out but through. I wet my...

How amazing! Way to go and congrats on a fantastic experience 🍻

Yeah, cheers, Bobby. Also hadn't thought of that.

As far as I understand, its good to drop to 50F (50–60, depending on who you ask), to get the yeast all sleepy so they don't interact and create hop bite or produce diacetyl, which can be an issue. Cheers!

Fantastic! Thanks for the show. Amazing how it kept

Thanks for this, Bobby! 1. I have precise temp control 2. My fermenter accepts CO2 input 3. My fermenter can handle 15psi 4. I don't have access to Lupomax or Cryohops for this batch I've done a diacetyl rest and am in the middle of a soft-crash at 55F with about 5-7psi. My hops are already...

Thanks, day_trippr! If you get around to posting that photo, that'd be great!

Fantastic! Thanks, day_trippr!

My LHBS also stocks Omega, but nothing else

Hey all, About to dry-hop a NEIPA. I've read that dry hopping for 3-4days produces the wanted benefits while avoiding grassy off-flavors from dry hopping for too long. How does cold crashing factor into this? If I dry hop for 4days and then cold crash for 2days, do I risk unwanted flavors...
